The sensor of a conventional optical system is typically a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) sensor. As the advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies have allowed the pixel size of sensors to be reduced and compact optical systems have gradually evolved toward the field of higher megapixels, there is an increasing demand for compact optical systems featuring better image quality.

The second lens element with positive refractive power has an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for balancing the distribution of the focal length so as to enlarge the field of view of the imaging optical system.

The third lens element with negative refractive power has an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the aberration of the imaging optical system. Furthermore, the image-side surface of the third lens element can have at least one convex shape in an off-axial region thereon. Therefore, it is favorable for effectively reducing the incident angle of off-axis onto an image sensor so as to increase the responding efficiency of the image sensor.

The fourth lens element with positive refractive power has an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the photosensitivity of the imaging optical system and effectively correcting the astigmatism.

Therefore, it is favorable for the principal point of the imaging optical system being positioned away from the image side and reducing a back focal length of the imaging optical system so as to maintain the compact size and correct the aberration of the off-axis effectively.

When a focal length of the first lens element is f1, and a focal length of the second lens element is f2, the following condition is satisfied: |f2/f1|<0.70. Therefore, it is favorable for balancing the distribution of the focal length so as to enlarge the field of view of the imaging optical system.

Therefore, it is favorable for a compact space arrangement by properly adjusting the axial distances between lens elements so as to reduce a total track length of the imaging optical system characterized by large field of view and maintain the compact size thereof. Moreover, it is favorable for structure design for abutting and joining lens elements together by the compact space arrangement. As a result, it is favorable for reducing the imaging problems resulted from the tilt and decenter. Preferably, the following condition is satisfied: 1.8<T12/(T23+T34+T45). More preferably, the following condition is satisfied: 1.8<T12/(T23+T34+T45)<6.0.

When a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the second lens element is R3, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the second lens element is R4, the following condition is satisfied: −0.1<(R3+R4)/(R3−R4).

When a maximal field of view of the imaging optical system is FOV, the following condition is satisfied: 80 degrees <FOV <110 degrees. Therefore, it is favorable for enlarging the field of view so as to obtain a larger image scene.

When a focal length of the fourth lens element is f4, and a focal length of the fifth lens element is f5, the following condition is satisfied: −0.65<f4/f5<−0.20. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the back focal length of the imaging optical system so as to maintain the compact size thereof.

Therefore, it is favorable for the moldability and homogeneity of lens elements, so that the compact size of the imaging optical system can be maintained.

When an Abbe number of the first lens element is V1, and an Abbe number of the second lens element is V2, the following condition is satisfied: 0.20<V1/V2<0.50. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the chromatic aberration of the imaging optical system so as to improve the image quality.

When a focal length of the imaging optical system is f, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is R10, the following condition is satisfied: 0.20<R10/f<0.50. Therefore, it is favorable for the principal point of the imaging optical system being positioned away from the image side so as to reduce the back focal length and maintain the compact size thereof.

When the focal length of the second lens element is f2, and the focal length of the fourth lens element is f4, the following condition is satisfied: 1.25<f2/f4<3.0. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the photosensitivity of the imaging optical system.

When an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and an image plane is TTL, and a maximum image height of the imaging optical system is ImgH, the following condition is satisfied: TTL/ImgH<3.0. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the total track length of the imaging optical system so as to maintain the compact size thereof.

According to the imaging optical system of the present disclosure, the lens elements thereof can be made of plastic or glass material. When the lens elements are made of plastic material, the manufacturing cost can be effectively reduced. When the lens elements are made of glass material, the distribution of the refractive power of the imaging optical system may be more flexible to design. Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to be aspheric, since the aspheric surface of the lens element is easy to form a shape other than spherical surface so as to have more controllable variables for eliminating the aberration thereof, and to further decrease the required number of the lens elements. Therefore, the total track length of the imaging optical system can also be reduced.

According to the imaging optical system of the present disclosure, each of an object-side surface and an image-side surface has a paraxial region and an off-axis region. The paraxial region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel close to the optical axis, and the off-axis region refers to the region of the surface away from the paraxial region. Particularly, when the lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the surface is convex in the paraxial region thereof; when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the surface is concave in the paraxial region thereof.

According to the imaging optical system of the present disclosure, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or a middle stop. A front stop disposed between an imaged object and the first lens element can provide a longer distance between an exit pupil of the imaging optical system and the image plane and thereby improves the image-sensing efficiency of an image sensor. A middle stop disposed between the first lens element and the image plane is favorable for enlarging the field of view of the imaging optical system and thereby provides a wider field of view for the same.

According to the imaging optical system of the present disclosure, the imaging optical system can include at least one stop, such as an aperture stop, a glare stop or a field stop. The glare stop or the field stop is for eliminating the stray light and thereby improving the image resolution thereof.

According to the imaging optical system of the present disclosure, the imaging optical system can be optionally applied to moving focus optical systems. Furthermore, the imaging optical system is featured with good correction ability and high image quality, and can be applied to 3D (three-dimensional) image capturing applications, in products such as digital cameras, mobile devices, digital tablets, smart TVs, network monitoring devices, motion sensing input devices, driving recorders, rear view camera systems, wearable devices and other electronic imaging products.

According to the present disclosure, an image capturing device is provided. The image capturing device includes the aforementioned imaging optical system according to the present disclosure and an image sensor, wherein the image sensor is located on or near an image plane of the aforementioned imaging optical system. In the imaging optical system of the image capturing device, it is favorable for keeping a compact space arrangement by properly adjusting the axial distances between lens elements so as to reduce the total track length of the imaging optical system characterized by large field of view and maintain the compact size thereof. Moreover, it is favorable for abutting and joining lens elements together due to the compact space arrangement for reducing worse imaging problems resulted from the tilt and decenter. Preferably, the image capturing device can further include a barrel member, a holder member or a combination thereof.

According to the present disclosure, a mobile terminal is provided, wherein the mobile terminal includes the aforementioned image capturing device. Therefore, it is favorable for keeping a compact size, abutting and joining lens elements together so as to avoid imaging problems resulted from the tilt and decenter. Preferably, the mobile terminal can further include but not limited to a control unit, a display, a storage unit, a random access memory unit (RAM) or a combination thereof.
